I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.

I came back from a long vacation to a happy and healthy cat. Marisol was great at providing photos and descriptions of Nox’s behavior, and was able to handle any extra issues that came up during drop ins (ex. Accidents from Nox).

Isla is great with my boys! I have one dog that is very timid with new people, and she took the time to make him comfortable!

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for pets, from childhood dogs and cats to hands-on work in veterinary clinics. For the past six years, I’ve worked in small animal vet clinics as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant, where I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m experienced in safely and sensitively handling pets who may be anxious, reactive, or uncomfortable with strangers. I’m comfortable administering medications, including insulin injections for diabetic pets, and I have experience caring for senior pets, pets with chronic conditions, those recovering from surgery, and pets on special diets. I also have experience with puppies and can reinforce basic training such as house-training and routine consistency. My clinical background has trained me to read pet body language, recognize stress signals early, and prevent issues before they escalate. You can expect consistent communication and detailed updates while your pet is in my care. I treat every pet like my own while maintaining professional standards, with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and trust, for both pets and their owners. I am currently a full-time student, but I am available every weekday morning between 8:00 and 11:00 AM and in the evening from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. I am also available most weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special instructions. With my veterinary clinic experience, I prioritize safety by monitoring behavior and health, securing doors and leashes, and preventing stress or hazards. I respect my clients’ homes and provide consistent communication and detailed updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Kylie did a great job caring for Queso. We were gone for over a week and she was there everyday, twice a day as scheduled. I definitely recommend her, and will book her again.

Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our mini farm animals. Even our nonsocial barn cat enjoyed her visits! We loved getting daily photos of our happy annimals. We know she cared for them and loved them just as much as we do!

Hannah was fabulous! She took wonderful care of our kitten while we were away from her for the first time. She was awfully understanding when I incorrectly booked the dates, sent us the cutest photos and was a joy to work with.

Abby has been great with our 3 dogs! We have a wild and unruly pup, a reactive and high-energy border collie, and an aging basset - so it's not exactly easy, yet she sure makes it seem that way. We hope to keep using her services as long as she wants to.

Syble did wonderfully with our two cats! She took care of them while we were out of town for a week, and we never had any concerns. I can’t recommend her highly enough! The only downside was that our boys didn’t even miss us!

About: I’ve been helping my grandparents raise dogs for a few years now and have experience taking care of them. My friends also always come to me when they need somebody to take care of their animals. I love taking care of all kinds of critters, big or small! I do have class and work during the day, so I may be unavailable during certain times for visits. However, I’m always willing to work with you to try and figure out a good schedule. My class and work schedule is usually 9-5:30 at UNL, so I need time to get to your critters. However, I’m willing to work with you to find the best time. My weekends are fully open. I have experience with building trust with animals that are unfamiliar with me and know how to do sniff tests so they can get used to me in your home. Your home is their space and they need to know that I’m not intruding so they feel safe. :)

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from energetic large/medium sized dogs to quirky, independent cats. Over the years, I’ve supported pets with a wide range of needs, including medication administration, special diets, and unique routines, and I’m always attentive to the details that help them feel comfortable and safe. I’ve been a go‑to pet sitter for friends, colleagues, and neighbors for many years, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Whether your companion is playful, shy, or a little eccentric, I’m dedicated to providing patient, reliable care while you’re away. What to Expect When I Sit for Your Pet: ~Attentive, loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs and personality ~Plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship to keep your pet happy and engaged ~Consistent routines, including feeding schedules, special diets, or medication ~A calm, patient presence for shy, senior, or special‑needs pets ~Regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing ~Respect for your home, keeping everything clean and cared for while you’re away ~Reliable communication before, during, and after each booking I currently work during the day teaching but am generally available to check in on your furry friends before 9AM and after 3:30PM Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I can also be there any time after noon on Tuesday and Thursday or anytime during the weekend! When I care for your pets, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am happy to travel to your home so your pet can stay in the environment where they feel most secure, and I’ll spend plenty of time playing, relaxing with them, and giving them the attention they deserve. I understand how important routines are, so I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means special diets, medications, or favorite games. Every pet has their own personality, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes them feel happiest. You can trust that I’ll treat your companions like my own and keep you updated every step of the way.

Megan cared for my two girls for 5 days and 4 nights and provided phenomenal performance. She provided photographs and a video during the stay as well as provided prompt communications both before and during the period. Megan was willing to meet with me and the two girls in advance to discuss the cat needs. I would highly recommend Megan for your pet care and house sitting needs as she is very responsible and caring.

Mikaela had stepped in and helped me with letting my two dogs out when I lost my regular person. We had a meet and greet at the dog park before the service began and another one at the house. She is very responsible and reliable, plus the pups love her.

About: I have grown up with dogs and they have become a special part of my life. I am completing my graduate program and do not have any pets of my own, so this is a great way for me to still get time with pets which makes me very happy. I currently have 2 dogs at home with my parents, one of which is a puppy that they got this summer! Our other dog is the sweetest pup and struggles with anxiety and separation anxiety, so I have learned to work with those challenges with him. I have-pet sit for my neighbors and friends since I was in middle school and really love getting the opportunity to be around pets. Although I have always had dogs around, I also love cats and other animals! I am currently in an in-person a graduate program so my schedule tends to vary during the week days. But I am often available in the mornings or afternoons, and some days have flexible full-day availability. My weekends are pretty open as well and I would love to care for pets during the weekends. I always make sure to have a thorough understanding of the routine that is in place for the specific pet(s). I feel it is important to follow each pet owner's wishes and routines in order to provide the best care for each individual pet and owner.
